Letting Go

by alienaxioms
Many people have spent their entire adult life searching for proof of their identity only to concede to the fact that there was no answer to be found.

However, some people have been able to go beyond the self-protective veil that separates their identity from normal consciousness through a process of focusing their imagination and extended awareness on the reality of universal consciousness, which is a state of dissolving into consciousness itself.

This very personal state of consciousness can only be reached through a process that feels unforced and natural to us. All of us are in a process of awakening to our real identity, and if we can temporarily let go of all memory and stay in the present moment long enough, eventually we will understand who we actually are.

By letting go of all thoughts associated with the past, we find ourselves in a suspended state without any reference points to give us comfort. As the mind withdraws from its comfort zone of recycled images and dialogue, it begins to let go of the physical world. As we let go of the physical world, we become more vulnerable. As we become more vulnerable, we become more open. As we become more open, we begin to realize more of our metaphysical nature. As we realize more of our metaphysical nature, we begin to recognize the dynamic metaphysical aspects of our mind. As we begin to recognize the dynamic metaphysical aspects of our mind, we begin to see there is not one thing in our mind that can help us realize our own identity.

It is all about letting go and allowing the unfolding process to be what it is. As we let go and gently begin to drift into a state of being unmoved by conditions, we are able to focus our awareness on quieting the intellectual mind. As the intellectual mind becomes more tranquil, a state of dissolving into consciousness itself begins to unfold. As we dissolve into consciousness itself, we are able to focus our imagination and extended awareness into a single point of serenity inside our mind. As this single point of serenity is experienced, we can expand the experience and allow it to embrace our deepest nature.

As our deepest nature rests within the embrace of serenity, we can let go of any remaining distractions and become one with the light of our true being. When we are one with the light of our true being, we can hear the silence. As we hear the silence, we become calm. When we are calm, we can let go of all that separates us from truth. When we let go of all that separates us from truth, we can let go of all desire. When we let go of all desire, there is no need to reach for anything in our thoughts. When we do not reach for anything in our thoughts, we are letting the universe pass through us without trying to control or direct it.

As we let the universe pass through us without trying to control or direct it, we are allowing our self to be our self. When we are in our natural state of being our self, we have nothing to fear. When we have nothing to fear, there is no need to hold on to anything. When we have no need to hold on to anything, we can let go of everything. When we let go of everything, we let go of all illusions. When we let go of all illusions, we let go of all uncertainties. When we let go of all uncertainties, we let go of all that separates. When we let go of all that separates, we allow our whole being to experience the vastness of our original nature.

When we experience the vastness of our original nature, we let everything be as it may, without interfering. When we do not interfere, we do not resist. When we do not resist, we do not think. When we do not think, we are in the moment. When we are in the moment, our mind is emptiness. When our mind is emptiness, we see the light of our true being. If we can understand this truth within our being, we can recognize ourselves within the truth.
